Madden 18 story mode: You may not be able to create your player

The feel of the trailer is very similar to "The Journey." In FIFA 17, the story was centered around Alex Hunter; there was no option to create a custom character.

Some may frown on that restriction, but it's not necessarily a negative. "The Journey" and Fight Night Champion's Champion Mode worked because they told a compelling story about an interesting character.

Allowing you to customize the character would have disjointed the story. Sometimes, it's better when game developers have a mode that isn't customizable.

The customization can be left for modes like Ultimate Team and franchise mode.

Madden 18 story mode: Player lock and traditional play

In FIFA 17's"The Journey," you can play as Hunter or control all 11 players on the team. It's a safe bet the same structure will be available in Madden 18's story mode.

This could be an attractive option for those who prefer traditional play but still want to experience the story.

On June 10 at EA Play, more information will be revealed about Madden 18. Many of the questions about the game will be answered.
